R95 wheels on an R56?

[grafikr]

Hello all,
Just a quick question. I'm the proud owner of a 2007 Astro Black MCS which I purchased earlier this year.

My previous car was a 535d Sport which had all the toys. I decided to downsize as I wasn't carrying any passengers and wanted to have something I could 'through around'. There were several candidates but the MCs came up trumps.

Anyway, I've never been one for aftermarket upgrades other than ones made by the respective companies. My car came with the 17" Flame alloys which are OK. Though I have always liked the look of the JCW R95 18"s. I know they originally came up with the first MINI JCW design.

OK, the question is would the R95's look odd on my R56m MCS. I'm pretty sure that they're aren't a set of new alloy designs coming up soon for 2007 onwards - Or are there?

Or if anyone knows anyone who wants a set of Flames for R95's, please advise. I welcome your suggestions/ideas/comments.

Ta.

Here's two R56 MCS's with R95 wheels:

Here's the new 18x7 R113 wheels:

Thanks Miniac,
The R113 almost look like the original MV alloys for the E46 (3 series) BMW.

Hi Adam,
High? Are you referring to the R95's or R113's?

R95's mate. the gap between the tyre and wheel arch looks really big.
